Mrs Harris

Inspired by a true story, this HBO Films drama tells the tragic, unlikely tale of Jean Harris (Annette Bening), who made headlines in the early 1980s after shooting and killing her lover, the celebrated "Scarsdale diet doctor," Herman Tarnower (Ben Kingsley), at his home in suburban New York. The film portrays different accounts of Tarnower's fatal shooting with flashback scenes introduced by dramatic testimonials from one of the century's most notorious and bizarre murder trials.
